Melting Arctic ice impacts ocean currents and temperatures significantly. Past data links Arctic ice melt to cooling in northern Europe. Study emphasises risks of climate changes affecting global ...

Arctic sea ice is melting at an alarming rate, and a new study reveals that this phenomenon could have far-reaching consequences on global climate systems. As the ice diminishes, it not only affects ...

More than 100,000 years ago, global temperatures soared and the Arctic ice melted to plunge Europe into a deep freeze, a new study has indicated. The research, from the iC3 Polar Research Hub, showed ...

“Our finding that enhanced melting of Arctic sea-ice likely resulted in significant cooling in northern Europe in the earth’s past is alarming,” says Mohamed Ezat from the iC3 Polar Research ...

Similar melt ponds are becoming more common across the Arctic due to climate change and are further accelerating the rate at which the region is losing its ice. The striking melt pond, which is ...

The United States needs to develop a comprehensive strategy for the Arctic. Melting sea ice is generating an emerging Arctic economy. Nations bordering the Arctic are drilling for oil and gas ...

As the region remains covered by thick ice for most of the year, it has remained unexplored. However, as an effect of global warming, Arctic ice is receding faster than any other region in the world.

Scientists emphasize the need to fill knowledge gaps to support adaptation to these changes. The Arctic is warming 3-4 times faster than the global average, leading to melting sea ice, retreating ...
